The button is, itself, encapsulated in another MC.

View 3 RepliesI have a flash map that contains 51 movieClips, one for each state.Sample instanceName for a state (Alabama) would be: S_01
I have a XML record that contains specific info for each state.<stateID>01</stateID
I am trying to link the stateID's in the XML record to the state movieClips that make up the map.var stateInstanceName = 'S_' + stateID;
I was just trying to do a simple trace command to see if I could pull the _width of each state clip to see if I was linked up:
trace(mapInstance.stateInstanceName._width)
It's my understanding that view states can be useful when switching the layout of design elements. Such as, a loading page as one state and the main application design in another state. Is this the correct use of them? Additionally, I have a label in State1 and I cannot figure out how to access that label via actionscript. labelID.text = "New Text"; is not working.

View 1 RepliesI'm using Flex 4.5 and trying to take advantage of the new state groups feature. I have two States (call them readType1 and readType2) that both belong to the same stateGroup (call it readOnly). There are several places where I'd like to do something based on the current state, and it would be the same thing for the two read states. [code]...

I want to fade all the elements of the next state when transitioning from any state.I tried different things but I can't get it to work. And I don't want to manually add transitions for every state.
Something like:

In my view I have a welcome screen:

Which is a pretty small component and I have panelContainer:
[Code]...
Whilst the user is reading the warm and fuzzy welcome note in the welcome state I want to be creating the big expensive panels state so taht when we switch there is no delay. Before the panels state is set panelView is null but I presume there must be an IDefferredInstance floating around somewhere that I can use to kick off the creation of the view. How can I get hold of it?
I am trying to get converted to Actionscript 3 from AS2.In old versions of flash, you simply placed the sound in a keyframe inside the button on the over or down state. Worked fine, but not anymore.I guess the sound must be set up with actionscript and a listener.I understand linkage. how to make one sound on the over state and a different one on the down state?

View 1 RepliesI'm currently building a project where I have a map, the map has individual pieces (cities) where the user can rollover with the cursor on each city.To be able to do that, I saved each city as png with background transparency, however, when I import to flash and make it active, the city stays a png with the transparency but becomes a square, which means that when the user rollover the transparent square part activates it.What I need is to know how to use only the form of the city in flash.
View 9 RepliesI have a bunch of movieclips with instance name like "newYorkCity", "sanFrancisco", etc. How do I parse a string to go from "newYorkCity" to become "New York City". I think it is possible to do this. I was looking in the flash help int he section "Finding substrings and patterns in strings" but this section seems really confusing to me.
View 3 RepliesI have a list of items in a database as well as images in a directory folder. I am looking for a flash app that can pull from the database to display the info and also the images and scroll this info vertically with associated links.

View 1 RepliesI have an HTML page called "mypage.html" with a form on it. The form contains a text field called "FName" and when submitted, it loads "mypage2.html" with a Flash file embedded within it.Using actionscript is it possible to pull the passed value "FName" to an actionscript variable. Previous threads mentioned the GetURL parameter but CS4 kicks it back saying it is no longer supported.I'm also a bit confused on whether actionscript can pull variables directly from the browser URL. I found a reference to the variables being placed in the HTML code that embeds the SWF file:<param name="movie" value="mySWFmovie.swf?myvar=heyyou" />'Why would this be the location to configure the passed parameters and not directly from the browser URL?

I created a file that pulls data from the worldofwarcraft.com serverstatus xml page.The data populates a dropdown list and you can choose the server and it tells you if its up or down. The mini app works great on my desktop, when I upload it to my server it no longer retrieves the data.
Is Bliz blocking my server address from recieving the data? Anyone know how to navigate around this. [URL]..If you want to test it grab the swf out of your cache and load it from your desktop, it will work.
I want to build a sort of pulled down projection screen thing using ActionScript.Basically the MC will come down with a picture on it.I have this starting code which doesn't work terribly well because it just moves the screen from top to bottom instantly.
Code:
on (release) {
do {_root.mcScreen._y+=1;
} while (_root.mcScreen._y<200);
}
Essentially I want the screen to smoothly scroll down into place over about half a second.
I would like to have a screen with multiple buttons and when the button is clicked different MC's will be imprted into the .fla file. For instance button 1 will import 1_MC, button 2, 2_MC, button 3, 3_MC etc. point me to a tutorial or give me a down and dirty example using AS3?

I have been failing to do a thing with Flash actionscript2.0; Here is the problem-
My xml file name is: sea.xml On my fla file, there is a button named: do; and a movieClip named: loader;
What I am trying to do is- load xml only when the button is pressed. So I tried this-
myXML:XML = new XML;
do.onRelease = function(){
myXML.load("sea.xml");
}

I'm going to be creating a kind of fake RSS feed scrolling on the bottom of my webpage, and I want to be able to have it read data from a .txt file, so I don't constantly have to go into the flash file on a daily basis and make new swfs :P
